Mitsubishi’s all-new 2026 L200 (also known as the Triton in some markets) arrives with a bold redesign, stronger performance, and a much-improved cabin. Whether you’re hauling tools, navigating off-road trails, or simply commuting in comfort, the latest L200 is built to handle it all. We took it for a first drive and it impressed at every turn.
Striking Exterior
Mitsubishi has sharpened the L200’s look without losing its rugged essence. The Dynamic Shield front fascia, new LED headlamps, and a more muscular body profile give it a powerful presence on the road—or off it.
Exterior Highlights:
- High ground clearance and reinforced skid plates
- Wide flared wheel arches with 18-inch alloys
- Durable bed liner and multiple tie-down points
- New colors like Graphite Gray and Impulse Blue
The updated double-cab configuration provides a solid mix of practicality and presence, with styling cues that blend tough utility and modern appeal.
Performance
Under the hood is a revised 2.4-liter turbo-diesel engine that now pumps out 201 hp and 430 Nm of torque—numbers that translate to confident towing, smooth overtaking, and capable off-road grunt.
Paired with:
- A 6-speed automatic transmission (smooth and well-matched to the engine)
- Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II system for instant transition from 2WD to 4WD
- Up to 3,500 kg of towing capacity
Fuel economy is a respectable 8.5 L/100 km (combined), giving it decent efficiency for a truck this size.
Off-Road
Mitsubishi didn’t just make the L200 look tough—it gave it the gear to back it up. Our off-road test route included steep climbs, loose gravel, and deep mud, and the L200 handled it all with ease.
Key 4×4 Features:
- Selectable terrain modes: Gravel, Mud, Sand, Rock
- Rear differential lock for traction when it matters most
- Hill descent control and off-road cruise control
- Excellent approach and departure angles for real trail confidence
Whether you’re tackling job sites or backcountry roads, the L200’s off-road pedigree remains untouched.
Interior
Step inside, and it’s clear Mitsubishi has made big strides. The cabin now feels solid, refined, and comfortable, with a major step up in materials, technology, and layout.
Interior Upgrades Include:
- Soft-touch materials and durable trim
- Supportive front seats, with heating and dual-zone climate control
- Ample space for five adults, with improved headroom and legroom
- Clever storage throughout the cabin, plus a damped tailgate for easier loading
It’s still a utility vehicle at heart, but one you’ll actually enjoy spending long hours in.
Tech
The 2026 L200 finally gets the infotainment and connectivity suite it deserves.
Technology Highlights:
- 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Built-in navigation with voice commands
- Wireless phone charging and multiple USB-A/USB-C ports
- Mitsubishi Connect app: remote locking, vehicle location, diagnostics
- Available premium sound system
This is tech that’s useful, not overcomplicated, and helps keep you connected and in control.
Safety
Mitsubishi includes a full suite of active safety features not just in top trims, but standard across the lineup.
Standard Safety Features:
- Forward collision mitigation
- Lane departure warning
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
Available Extras:
- Adaptive cruise control
- 360-degree camera system
- Driver attention alert
Whether you’re navigating tight worksites or crowded parking lots, these systems add valuable peace of mind.
Tougher, Smarter, Better
The 2026 Mitsubishi L200 is no half-measure refresh it’s a serious evolution of a dependable pickup. It retains the core strengths that made it a favorite for workers and adventurers but adds modern comfort, tech, and drivability that make it more appealing than ever for families and everyday drivers too.
Whether you’re hauling, towing, exploring, or just commuting, the new L200 proves that you don’t have to compromise between toughness and livability.
